FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do financial services and fintech companies use the people data feed?

Let dealmakers build private-company target lists, attach owners and leadership, and find best-fit buyers for sell-side mandates. A licensed file of 800M+ professional profiles, refreshed on a schedule and delivered to Snowflake or S3. This page walks through 3 workflows with the exact steps.

How much does the people data feed cost for financial services and fintech companies?

People data feed is a flat annual licence, global or regional, not priced in credits. The price depends on the records, fields and refresh schedule you license, so talk to sales with your use case and we quote it.

Which financial services and fintech workflows use the people data feed?

Power private-market deal sourcing and buyer lists with a company feed, benchmark AI talent density and hiring across an industry and measure talent inflows, outflows and leadership departures as alternative data. Each is on this page with its trigger, steps and outcome.

How do I find owners of private companies contact?

Screen private companies in company_feed (industry, employees, location, founded date). Attach owners and leadership from people_feed.

Is there a free way to try Forager?

Yes. Request a sample extract of the people data feed on a 30-minute call and check the fields against your own records before you license it.

How do I track competitor AI hiring?

Add AI hiring velocity and talent moves from job_postings_feed and people_feed changes. Publish ranked benchmarks and competitor deltas.

How accurate is Forager data?

The test that counts is your own: send a list of profiles you care about. We run it and show you what we find, number by number, so you can measure hit rate and connect rate yourself.

Should I use the people data feed or the API?

Use the API when your product needs one person at a time, at the moment a user asks. License the people data feed when you need the whole layer in your own warehouse or search index, for analytics, matching or retrieval, without a call per record.

Does Forager integrate with the tools we already use?

Delivered as a data share to Snowflake, Databricks and Amazon S3. Everything else connects through the REST API with one API key.

Is there a contract or minimum commitment?

Data feeds are licensed on an annual agreement, with the term, volume and refresh schedule written into it. There are no self-serve plans for feeds.

Is there volume or annual pricing for financial services and fintech companies?

Pro, the largest self-serve plan, includes 22,500 credits a month (1,500 mobiles or 4,500 emails). Above that, enterprise plans with volume pricing are agreed with our team, and yearly billing costs 10% less than month to month on every self-serve plan. Platforms that embed Forager in their product pay per record at volume.

Where does Forager data come from, and is it compliant?

Financial services and fintech companies often have to explain their data source to their own customers. Bring your legal and security questions to a call with our team, and we take you through how Forager data is sourced and the terms that cover people data feed for financial services and fintech companies. Forager's privacy policy is public, and anyone can send a request about their own personal data through the consumer rights form on forager.ai.
